ODC/Dance's The Velveteen Rabbit
This event is expired.
ODC/Dance's adaptation of the classic children's story The Velveteen Rabbit has been a holiday tradition in the Bay Area for 28 years. With music, dance, and powerful narrative, ODC/Dance tells this classic tale of a well-worn stuffed rabbit who become real, and the little boy who loves him.
This popular production brims with wit, festive costumes, colorful characters—including the 10-foot-tall Nana, a skin-horse, toy soldiers, a crocodile, dolls, and a pack of "real" rabbits, and, of course, plenty of holiday cheer. The Velveteen Rabbit features ODC's renowned company of dancers, 10 young dancers from the ODC school, a score by Benjamin Britten. This production is suitable for children ages 3 and up. Running time is 90 minutes, including one intermission.
Performances of The Velveteen Rabbit take place November 28 through December 14. Tickets are $15 for 11 am weekday matinee performances, and range from $18 to $75 for other showings. The Milk and Cookies Party on Sunday, November 30 requires an additional $12 ticket. Prices may increase as performance dates approach. Tickets are available online or by calling (415) 978-2787.
